Hello Everybody,

  • Crazy Days will be this Wednesday, July 30th in Valley City from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM ……. Fun for all, enjoy!
  • The 13th and Final Annual Wiffle Ball World Series was held at Shane Roberts Field just south of Valley City last Saturday.  It was a great spectacle facilitated by a number of “Veteran Hi-Liners” and a wonderful team of dedicated people. The event has provided area charities with over $50,000 plus yesterday’s $11,500.00 check to “Landon’s Light” and contributions still coming in.
  • Yard signage for businesses, yard sales, political interests and the like are to be on private yards not boulevards.  So a “rule of thumb”, place signs on your “yard side” of the boulevard sidewalk.  Thank you.
  • A sight impaired citizen asks that people please leave sidewalks clear when you park vehicles.  Vehicles on the sidewalk are dangerous for ALL, especially for the impaired and kids on toys.  We can also be ticketed for the violation.  Please be considerate, thanks.
  • How about making a “social phone call” to someone today?
  • A number of sidewalks uptown and in residential areas have weeds growing in cracks.  Will you please beautify your property by removing said weeds?  It will be appreciated.
  • Thank you to the talented artists who painted the charming mural across 2nd Avenue NE from the Post Office.  We are all to be grateful for their beautification.
  • Some people have been asking, “When will trees be picked up”?   Please keep in mind “tree pick up” is secondary to everyday work, but is in the queue.  Front boulevards have been first while public grounds will be later.  Please be patient as much has been done, there have been something over three million pounds hauled to the Transfer Station already.
  • Amy Ruley is #8 in Sports Illustrated’s Fifty Most Noted North Dakota Sports Figures.  Amy Coached the Bison Women to numerous NCAA DII titles.
  • Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this column.
